Sleeping Beauty is a classic fairy tale which involves a beautiful princess, enchantment and a handsome prince.
In the 14th century, a wicked fairy, who had been overlooked, placed the princess under an enchantment, saying that, she would fatally prick her finger on a spinning wheel before sundown on her 16th birthday. This, of course, would deny her a happily-ever-after with her true love.
A good fairy, though unable to completely reverse the spell, said that the princess would instead sleep for a hundred years, until awakened by true love's first kiss.
After a hundred years had passed, a prince who had heard the story of the enchantment entered the castle. He trembled upon seeing the princess's beauty and fell on his knees before her. He kissed her, then she woke up, and, in modern versions, starting with the Brothers Grimm version, they all lived happily ever after.
Now your child can enjoy this timeless classic tale in Chinese.
